Abstract
A recognition control circuitry detects a light amount of an imaging area on the basis of an image signal from a camera, a control signal from a camera control circuitry, and the like, and generates selection determination information on the basis of a detection result of the light amount. A recognition processing circuitry performs area division on an image of an imaging area generated by the camera on the basis of the selection determination information generated by the recognition control circuitry, and selects a recognizer for each area. Moreover, the recognition processing circuitry performs a subject recognition process on an image of the corresponding area by using the selected recognizer. Even when a captured image includes a bright area and a dark area, a subject in each area can be easily and accurately recognized.
